Is America really as prudish as it sometimes appears to be? It’s really hard for me to tell. Particularly as I’ve never been there. Judging a country solely on their cultural exports is clearly fraught with danger. I mean, I have seen American films from every degree of separation of morality’s compass. From [...]
One of my absolute favourite modern photographers is the Dutchman Erwin Olaf. His eye for composition is truly outstanding, and the subtlety and delicacy of his work is breathtaking. OK, some of his stuff is not at all subtle – some of his “gay” work is right in your face and very confronting (and brilliant [...]
I’m one of those people fascinated by technology. Particularly with its implementation in consumer electronics. If I was a wealthy man, I would have a very, very nice sound system, a top of the line computer or three, an extremely expensive digital SLR, plus any number of gadgets (ipod, mobile etc). As it is, I’m [...]
I have been thinking more about workflow. I am a DAM and a DNG convert, and have been slowly trying to turn these approaches and tools into an efficient system. There are several workflow solutions, and it would appear that one of the most popular is the Bridge / iView Media Pro (now Expression Media) [...]
Now tell me you could do that in the old days of film. Digital certainly has its advantages, and the ability to cut loose with the shutter is one of the main ones. If you take 1250 shots in two days as I just did, and assuming you are at least a reasonably proficient [...]
We had a visit last week at school from the editor of a magazine called Silver Shotz. He was an interesting guy who had a lot of interesting advice and examples of really interesting film based processing techniques, like cyanotypes and salt prints and the like. But in my eyes he undermined his whole talk [...]
DP Review has a page on the new Canon M30 and M80. It looks cool. I WANT ONE!!!
I’ve been very busy lately and everytime I think to write a post on here, my mind is blank.
Anyway, I was wondering what people think of the DNG format. I have been slowly implementing a DAM workflow, and as a part of that it is recommended that you convert your raw files to DNG files. [...]
If you don’t know what DAM is, I could be rude and suggest you are not a serious photographer. Now I won’t because I am a polite boy, but really, if you are serious about digital photography, you simply have to be serious about DAM.
Basically, it involves everything between getting your images in on to [...]
Onexposure is a photoblog with a difference. The idea behind it is both interesting and problematic. Basically, how it works is this. You join, submit a photo, and if the powers that be think it is good enough, it goes up on the blog under a category. The idea behind this is clearly to achieve [...]
